During the pandemic I had an initial meeting with a hiring manager at Amazon that didn’t care that I was multiple time zones away from her office. Even though the official policy was actually return to office when pandemic conditions change. Luckily I didn’t want to go through their interview process- I’m guessing I would have gotten axed in the layoffs for being newer on the team and not being able to come to the office.
- sakopov 3y agoI have a friend who was hired in 2019, moved to a city with Amazon office and then moved back in 2021 while keeping his job. He still works at Amazon and is fully remote indefinitely. From what he had told me, this is only impacting those who work within commuting distance of an Amazon office. Those who were hired as remote employees or relocated during pandemic years were pretty much grandfathered into fully remote roles.
- saagarjha 3y agoI entertained a position at Amazon (that I ultimately didn’t take) that would have been remote. I’m sure that would have changed as I live about half an hour by bike from the nearest office.
- pinkmuffinere 3y agoThis may be the case for your friend’s team, but certainly not everyone. I was hired during the pandemic and was fully remote for 1.5 years, but am now expected to be in office Tuesday-Thursday. If my contact had slightly different wording I believe my situation would be different.
